O’Sullivan: Dublin out to build on fine start

PAT GILROY has already drawn a line through last week’s opening league win over Kerry but Cian O’Sullivan will find it much more difficult to leave his memories of Killarney behind.

Born and reared in the capital, the Dublin centre-back traces his roots on both sides of the tree back to the Kingdom. His dad John is from Kilgarvan. Mum Noreen hails from Firies.

A young Cian spent a number of his summers down in the south-west and both parents were on hand to see him make his full senior competitive debut for the Dubs six days ago.
